"Oh no, I just don't want to make this old pig's head Hamisi feel better!"

At this time, Hamis, the old pig's head, was standing beside Xu Siling and lost his soul, his face was pale, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"He's getting better."

An Li rolled her eyes: "Xu, I don't understand you yet, you must be going to cut off Hamis's pig's head." ”

"Isn't this normal, this old dog is also a nobleman, it's no problem to cut off his head."

"Here's the problem, you cut off the heads of all the prisoners in your hands."

An Li hugged her shoulders with an angry look: "Usually forget it, this old pig's head has been making insulting remarks in front of him, I have been unhappy with him for a long time!" ”

Oh my God, Ann Li won't want to fight for her head, right?

Xu Siling hesitated, he hadn't cut off the head of a nobleman yet, this was the first time, if it was another prisoner, he would not hesitate to give Hamis's head to An Li.

Can this.

Seeing Xu Siling's hesitation, An Li immediately patted him on the shoulder.

"Xu, I know you're a headhopper, Miss Raya told me."

Xu Siling's face was strange when he heard this, and he wanted to say something but found that he couldn't say anything.

"Don't worry, I won't kill this dead pig's head, I'm going to torture it, and I'll return it to you after the torture."

Hearing that An Li just wanted to torture Khamis and had no intention of snatching people's heads, Xu Siling breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then you take him away, just don't kill him."

"That's fine!"

Hearing Xu Siling's promise, An Li smiled all over her face, stepped forward and grabbed Hamis's neckline, and was about to drag him away.

Seeing this, Xu Siling hurriedly dissuaded.

"This old dog's clothes are very valuable, remember to pick them up for him first."

"Got it!"

Alas, my damn occupational disease.

After handing over Hamis to An Li, Xu Siling returned to the main account and talked about the handling of Tamubao.

As soon as he entered the main tent, he saw Fei'er sitting on a chair in a daze, and when he saw Xu Siling coming in, he came back to his senses with a smile.

"Is this old fellow Hamis done so soon?"

"An Li borrowed it and said to pay it back to me later."

Phil thought of something: "Ann Li has been weird lately. ”

"When is she normal?"

Fei'er rolled her eyes: "She has been mixed with many soldiers recently, it seems that she has built some kind of organization together?" Anyway, it's weird, take the time to pay attention. ”

"She's your bodyguard, you don't know anything about her, I know."

Fei'er didn't follow up on the topic, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think of Tamuburg?" ”

"Since we choose to kill Hamis, then we can't take Tamu Fort, otherwise we will be caught, especially Philip VI." Xu Siling didn't know whether to discuss the current king with Fei'er, this king's historical reputation is not very good, and there are problems in both ability and character.

Especially during the regency of Philip VI, the wife of the previous king, whether the unborn child in her womb was male or female, determined the direction of the throne.

After the wife of the previous king gave birth to a girl, at about the same time, Philip VI declared his succession to the throne and became king of the Kingdom of France.

This is not the point, this is a man's pursuit and desire for power, not a stain on character.

Mainly. When the daughter of the previous king was born, she was named Blanche.

When Blanche grew up, she was betrothed to Philip VI's son, John II.

And then

On the premise that Blanche was engaged to his son, Philip VI took a fancy to his future daughter-in-law and forcibly married Blanche, who also became Philip VI's second wife.

Although the marriage problem in France has always been criticized, as a king, this kind of thing of snatching his son and wife has been done, which is difficult for Xu Siling to accept.

I have to say that the temper of the next king, John II, is really good, and coupled with the subsequent arrest, he deserves to be called 'Good Man John'.

"What's wrong?"

"King Philip VI has always wanted to restart the Crusades, but the war with the Kingdom of England over the issue of inheritance has put the matter on hold."

Fei'er has a deep understanding of Xu Siling, although she doesn't know why Xu Siling knows so much about these things, even if she is a nobleman, she is just chasing the wind in conversations and letters between nobles, and there is no clear information.

But Xu Siling can always accurately predict certain things.

Fei'er didn't understand, but she had accepted it habitually.

Anyway, Xu Siling won't harm her.

"The reason why I want to restart the crusade is not because Philip VI is a fanatical saint, but simply because the state has no money."

"Indeed." Fei'er nodded silently.

"Especially the Black Death raged in the kingdom, many of the territorial nobles already lacked the king's taxes and did not pay, and now there is even more reason not to pay, coupled with the defeat of the previous Battle of Cressie, it can only be said that Philip VI is really poor now."

"So what does this have to do with Tamuburg?"

Xu Siling rubbed his chin and said slowly: "Although Philip VI was poor, and the problem of the Black Death also gave him a headache, many nobles in the territory died of illness, and he was still very happy in his eyes. ”

"How so." Fei'er was subconsciously surprised, but she suddenly understood what she thought: "I see, I understand." ”

Historically, the Black Death was raging for a long time, and the Kingdom of France died nearly half of the population due to the Black Death, while the southern part of the kingdom died even more, coupled with the migration of the population from the south to the north, resulting in a sharp decline in the population of the south.

The death of many territorial nobles also left the kingdom empty, and these uninherited territories naturally fell into the hands of King Philip VI.

Although the problem of the Black Death plagued him, he was still very happy that the territory of the nobles who died of illness was returned to his hands.

"So Tamubao, we must not occupy it, no matter how much the Holy See supports us in our crusade against Tamubao."

"Then what did you mean when you said earlier that the king would give us Tamu Fort?"

Xu Siling smiled gently: "At the end of this matter, we will definitely write to the bishop to explain the results and reasons for this crusade against Tamubao, you are dealing with this matter from the perspective of the Holy Religion, our crusade against Khamis is a righteous move, the bishop will not support it, and the king will not dare to say more when he knows about this matter." ”

"Then we wrote another letter to King Philip VI, stating that he had been killed in battle by Hamis in the course of the crusade, and that all the members of his family had unfortunately been affected by the flames of war, and that there was no one to inherit the Tamu Fort, and that the Tamu Fort was left unmanaged. As a nobleman in the crusade against Hamis, you must take on this temporary responsibility and help King Philip VI temporarily take care of Tamu Fort. ”

Fei'er's eyes narrowed slightly: "Help the king take care of Tamu Fort temporarily?" ”

"That's right, the letter must be clearly written, it is to temporarily help Philip VI take care of Tamu Fort, and ask the king to arrange for someone to take over Tamu Fort as soon as possible."

"Xu, aren't we working for Wang Bai in this way? In the end, Tamubao will have to be returned to him. ”

Xu Siling smiled slyly: "Speaking of the taxes in Raya Town, have they been paid to the king?" ”

Fei'er couldn't help but shake her head when she thought of the financial problems of Raya Town: "I still owe it last year, including this year's two quarters, before the Black Death broke out, the financial situation of Raya Town was very difficult, not to mention the current situation anyway, the king will not urge." What's the matter, bring it up. ”

"When you send this letter to the king, by the way, you will also send the king the tax owed by the town of Raya."

Fei'er's blue eyes were slightly stunned, and then she couldn't help but stare and figure everything out.

"Philip VI has a very strong interest in the city, we took the initiative to pay the taxes owed by the town of Raya, and said that we would help Philip VI temporarily take care of the Tamu Fort, what do you say Philip VI thinks of us and the Tamu Fort?"

"Tamubao was defeated and fell by us, how many people died, how many people ran away, and how much property was left in the Tamuburg territory, Philip VI didn't know at all, but compared to those noble territories that died of illness, the property left by Tamuburg to him will only be less, not more."

"After all, Tamuburg is a territory that fell due to war, and the others are territories that fell due to the Black Death, and he, Philip VI, is a war maniac of interests, and he will not understand what it is like to fall into a territory of war."

"We took the initiative to pay the taxes owed by Raya Town, and we also subconsciously told Philip VI that if Tamu Fort is handed over to you Phil Raya, then Tamu Fort can also pay Tamu Fort taxes normally like Raya Town."

"You must know the current situation, ninety percent of the nobles are unable to bear the king's taxes in the territory, many nobles owe money to the kingdom, and even some owe four or five years, Phil, you say, a castle after the fall of the war or a castle that can pay taxes, which is more beneficial to him Philip VI, he will not be unclear."

"So when Philip VI received this letter and the taxes from Raya Town, he would probably give Tamu Fort to you in the form of a reward for your help in the Holy Cult's crusade against Hamis."

It should be said that it will definitely be given to Fei'er.

Philip VI is a person with low ability and poor character, and can be said to be an extremely self-interested villain.

To put it more bluntly, it was Philip VI's love of money.

As long as Phil showed that she could bring money to Philip VI, a Tammu fort that could not bring production after the war at all, and a Tamu fort that could pay taxes on time, Philip VI would definitely choose the latter.

"I see what you mean." Phil was first happy, and then worried: "Although we haven't looted the property left by Khamis yet, we can't have too much confidence, especially if we take over Tamubao in the future, we can't loot the aborigines of Tamuburg too much. In addition, the financial situation of Raya Town is not particularly good, and it is really difficult for you to let me take out the taxes of Laya Town for a year and a half. ”

Xu Siling blinked and asked, "Once I proposed to let your uncle Johns go south to loot the inheritance, how is the situation?" ”

"The men of Johns did bring a part of their possessions and returned to the town of Raya, and when they learned that they were dead, they returned their possessions and prayed to me for their lives."

"And then?"

"Of course they're dead, so that the dead can keep secrets, and I don't want anyone to go out and spread the word about John." Phil said as a matter of course.

"How did I not know about this."

"You were still out there to clean up the robbers, I don't want to keep these people overnight, or I'll hand them over to you to play with."

"You use this word well," Xu Siling wanted to complain.

"Your proposal is indeed okay, and I have always wanted to implement it, but I don't have any trustworthy manpower, if An Li arranges it, there will be no one around me who can use it, not to mention that you can't be by my side all the time." Fei'er glanced at Xu Siling resentfully.

Xu Siling coughed lightly, and then said: "Then I'll arrange it, the matter of looting people's inheritance, but our executioner family's specialty is unique." ”

"That being said, it's a long time coming. According to our time, it is too late to write to the bishop and the king in the past three or four days, right? ”

"I know that this matter must be maintained, after all, it is ill-gotten gains, and it is better to cheapen others than to cheapen us. I had other ways to raise taxes for Philip VI. ”

Fei'er wondered: "What way?" ”

"Now we have additional sources of property, one is the property left by Khamis, and the other is the property of the Jews of Tamuburg." Xu Siling grinned, "I heard that they are quite rich. ”

Speaking of Jews, Phil thought of the witches, and these people helped Hamis a lot, and couldn't help but be angry.

"That's right, I almost forgot about them!" Phil thought of something, "But there are not many Jews in Tamu Fort, and no matter how rich they are, they can't cover the taxes of Raya Town for a year and a half." ”

"Fei'er is so stupid, we can still pay in kind."

"Payment?" Fei'er blinked curiously, and the cute curiosity doll said, "What is we worthy?"

"MSG." Xu Siling subconsciously gently pinched Fei'er's face, "You forget, our MSG is still very valuable to the outside world." ”

Fei'er was not resistant to Xu Siling's intimate actions at all, but blushed slightly happily.

"Oh yes. And your MSG. ”

Xu Siling coughed lightly, stood up and hugged his shoulders and said, "Thanks to your efforts, Fei'er, the current price of our MSG is twenty gold coins per can." ”

"The price isn't quite certain yet, but. It's not much worse. ”

"It's okay, we'll use this price to deduct the tax to Philip VI, but the amount can't be offset too much, anyway, I also wrote a letter to make it clear that MSG is a specialty of Raya Town, and it is difficult to produce, not all the time, and say how difficult the production process of MSG is."

"With such a high price tag for MSG, Philip VI must have been curious, and I believe that when he uses MSG, he will also praise MSG."

"MSG is such a good thing, do you think Philip VI will hold a banquet and invite other nobles to use it?"

Fei Eryi raised her eyebrows: "We use MSG to pay, and we can also open sales channels for MSG?" Let more people know that we produce MSG? ”

"That's right. This is a good way to let MSG completely open up the way of sales for the nobility of the kingdom, and it can help you alleviate the lack of taxes, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Xu Siling pretended to cough, and he looked like an adult with a lot of attitude.

"As for Phil Raya's purchase of MSG. In line with the principle of win-win legal transactions, I will reluctantly let you purchase my MSG at cost price. ”

Fei'er looked at Xu Siling, and immediately smiled, and the silver bell-like laughter was extremely pleasant. (End of chapter)
